My apologies, I may have been guilty of seeing a generalization where there wasn't one. That is the impression I got from your statement "coberst is right in that you cannot have a sophisticated argument about gay rights with someone with an "Adam and Steve" bumper sticker".
Would it have been accurate to say that you hold 'the ability of the bumper sticker owner to hold a sophisticated argument in low esteem'?
Do you propose that anyone with a bumper sticker is unable to hold a sophisticated argument on the topic of their bumper sticker but you can have a sophisticated discussion with them about anything else?
